Apple Honey Zucchini Bread

It might be labor day but Meatless Monday never takes a day off! I love all the fall pumpkin recipes but I am not ready to embrace them quite yet given that it is still 90 degrees in the DC area. I am excited about apples though! Given that the Jewish holidays are starting next week I thought it was the perfect time to whip up an apple honey zucchini bread to share with you. Please join Tina and I for Meatless Monday.

I really enjoy cooking seasonally and apples and zucchini are perfect right now and pretty inexpensive. In the Jewish tradition, honey signifies a “sweet new year”. With the start of school and the start of a new season, it seems the perfect time to wish you all a sweet new year.

What I really love about this recipe is that it has no added white sugar. I have used a small amount of honey and the sweetness of the apples to provide just the right amount of goodness. I tried making this with other flours and didn’t get the consistency I was looking for so kept this recipe with a white flour. Feel free to experiment with your favorite flour. I think it came out fabulous hope you enjoy! It’s perfect for breakfast or paired with your afternoon coffee.

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

This looks great! I have a standby chocolate zucchini bread recipe but this looks like a nice way to mix it up and really bring in a taste of fall. And I cannot wait for the giant honeycrisp apples to be back in full force (and not $25/apple) at the store.Kelli recently posted…A Good Start to September

I never get into the whole pumpkin thing, even though I like it. I think that this bread sounds delicious. My husband keeps bugging me to make some, so consider me inspired. 🙂Debbie @ Coach Debbie Runs recently posted…Vegan Shawarma Gyro Recipe plus the aLign Bag Winner

I can just imagine how tasty this is! It’s like a knife in my heart everytime I think about zucchini and the fact that our garden yielded zero this year. That’s just so wrong. But the neighborhood apple trees seem to be thriving, and the deer are eating all the low-hanging ones. Haha!Marcia recently posted…Long Run by Number

I love apples and apple recipes. I’m not a huge pumpkin fan, but I suck it up because my husband and daughter are! I’d rather have apple spice or ginger bread for fall flavors. When we lived back in Northern VA. I was surprised that the schools did not give Jewish Holidays off- I thought everyone celebrated. Growing up in this part California, and with my own kids now, Jewish Holidays are a part of our culture ( even though we aren’t Jewish) I still teach my children the rituals and traditions– like the symbol and meaning behind the apple and dipping it into the sweet honey.Lisa @ RunWiki recently posted…Moist and Fluffy Reduced Sugar Blueberry Muffins and How to Keep the Dough from Turning Purple

Love this, delicious combination of a couple of my fall favorites!!
I’m all over squash and worried all the fall squashes and apples would get past over this year from pumpkin recipes I have been seeing.Sarah recently posted…PB&J Ice Cream Sandwiches

I love zucchini bread! This combo of flavors sounds divine. It always feels like an accomplishment to me to get a recipe to taste good without using sugar. Love that a bit of honey is used in place of it here.Katie @ Gettin’ My Healthy On recently posted…25 Ways to Treat Yo’ Self Every Day

This looks fantastic!! I want to make one and put it in the kid’s lunches!! I’ll be sure and let you know if I do 🙂 I love apple and zucchini together. Have a wonderful rest of the holiday!Natalie recently posted…Weekend Update: Trail, My Love – I’ve Missed You.

I love anything made with zucchini or squash. I used to make plain zucchini bread years ago. I think it would be much tastier with applies and honey. Thanks for sharing.HoHo Runs recently posted…Weekly Wrap #5

I’ve been eating a lot of zucchini lately and this recipe will just continue the trend. Looks amazing!! My favorite fall food is squash – the aforementioned along with butternut, spaghetti and acorn – so excited to see them in the stores soon 🙂Whitney @ To Live & Diet in L.A. recently posted…3-Ingredient Orange Creamsicles
